False Religions of this World

False Religions of this World - By Pastor Mike Taylor - https://pastormiketaylor.blogspot.com/2021/06/false-religions-of-this-world.html 22 "Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them;or declare us things for to come. 23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. 24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.." (Isaiah 41:22-24) In these last days of man's attempt to rule this world, God has laid out a challenge to anyone claiming to be a god. Since there is only One God and His Name is Jehovahor YAHWEH, God Almighty proclaims in His Word that if there be any other god, then declare the end from the beginning. His challenge is to predict the future. “"Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew theformer things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come." (Isaiah 41:21-22) Prophecy is only known to God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. The bible is 27% prophecy and every point that has been fulfilled in history was foretold in your biblewith 100% accuracy. Our God knows what will happen before the world was formed. Those that still need to be fulfilled, will come to pass as the God that formed this universe and all that is in it, has willed it and foresaw it's outcome. The false religionof Islam and their god, Allah, knows nothing right along with other false religions of this world. Those that remain unfulfilled are in complete harmony with current secularist futurist predictions. That is to say, events relied on by secular forecasters to develop long-termgeopolitical or environmental trends suggest the same outcomes predicted by Scripture. God has shown us the future and it is in His Word...your bible. A FEW EXAMPLES Man sees unrest and wars that virtually cover our planet in a hop scotch form of unrest and upheaval. The Bible predicted wars and rumors of wars in the last days. The elitein Washington predicts a generational war with Islam and the Arab nations. The bible predicts unusual weather patterns and environmental disasters. Weather forecasters have reported nine of the hottest years on record since 1995 and will continuefor the unforeseeable future. Earthquakes have increased 400% in the last 10-20 years and volcanoes long thought to be dormant have once again come alive all over the planet. The Bible has predicted there will be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars. NASA predicts that there will be shift in the 11 year solar cycles that will produce increasinghotter temperatures on the surface of the earth. The bible predicts that the sun will someday scorch men with painful sores: “And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. (Revelation 16:9) NASA says changes in the ozone layers and increasing ultraviolet light is responsible for most skin cancers. God Himself issues a challenge to other so-called 'gods' to predict the future: "Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew theformer things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come." (Isaiah 41:21-22) Only our God, the King of the Universe is omniscient and omniprescent and knows what will happen and when it will happen. God not only knows the future, but the circumstancesthat will bring it to pass. Our God continues to challenge the false religions of this world. Satan can know some of the details, as he will cause them to happen, but he won't know everything, as hecan't predict the future. The best he can do is detail what he has planned in advance to one of his 'prophets'. He doesn't know how those plans will turn out. He had a plan to defeat Jesus by havingHim killed by his chosen henchmen. Had he known the outcome, he would have planned things differently: 6 "Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.." (1st Corinthians2:6-9) Almighty God issues His challenge, because He knows that there are NO other gods, but the God of heaven and earth. He alone is God and it stands to reason that He is able to accurately predict the future. But man led by Satanis determined to be a “god unto himself”... ISLAM, A FALSE RELIGION WITH A FALSE GOD "Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you." (Isaiah 41:24) Although Islam does profess a type of prophecy that they say will happen, they take their predictions from what is said in the bible and twist them to the own end. Islamic predictions of a coming messiah type figure riding on a white horse is taken from Revelation 6:3, “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” They predict this will be the Mahdi, but as Christians we know that the Bible is identifying the coming Anti-Christ that will come with smooth words to conquer by deceit.Islam predicts that this coming “mahdi” will lead a vast conquering Islamic army to conquer the world by the sword. There was no predictions or prophecy of the coming of Mohammed, but the “twelvers” of Shia Islam claim that the Mahdi has remained alive since 860 A.D., but Mohammed isas dead as anybody else. Islam predicts that the returning Mahdi will line up with their version of Jesus (Isa) and subdue the whole earth for Islam. They don't believe that Jesus is the Son ofGod, but a prophet of God, and not God Himself. In this coming “war” Isa and the Mahdi will kill 1/3 of all mankind and is a hijacking of Revelation's passages that even Satan can read the prophecies of God written by John the Apostle. Their version lines up with the Anti-Christ and the false prophet. Islam proclaims that this Mahdi and Isa will place a mark in the forehead of it's warriors and followers,as the Bible proclaims the Beast will require a mark on the foreheads, or in their right hand. Coincidence? 16" And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation13:16-18) THE RISE OF ISLAM Fifty years ago, you never heard of Islam, as it was assigned to the backward nations of the Middle East and Indonesia. Theirs was a culture and way of life right out ofthe 6th Century with all it's backward ways. Islam was not a threat to the West or for that matter our Christian way of life. But all that changed starting in 1979 with the overthrow of the Shah of Iran by the Mullahs, led by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeinin,the leader of the revolution, supported by various leftist and Islamic organizations and Iranian student movements. From that point, with the kidnapping of our American citizens as hostages, that then POTUS Carter was ill equipped to deal with, a declarationof war was declared and waged by the rising Islamic nation led by Iran. It has now been 41 years since that “silent” war erupted and it has been getting louder with each passing year. All over the world, Islam is the fastest growing “religion” that is 1 billion + and growing stronger with new converts even in the once great Christian nation of the U.S.A. As the home of the brave, land of the free becomes more steeped in apostacy, Islam continues to fill the void left by those who abandoned and forsaken the God of heaven. DID GOD RAISE UP A LEADER OF JUDGMENT? We had a “leader” (and I use that tongue in cheek) who on camera professed his form of “Christianity” but behind the scenes praises Islam and promoted its religious ideology whenever he got a chance. Many believe, as I do,that he is a closest Muslim, himself. Christianity of those who follow Jesus Christ are regarded as a danger to modern society, by hate speech, ridicule and sometimes even prosecution for their once honored beliefs in the One true God that this nation wasfounded upon and our motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” was held in high esteem. IN the past, I have had little hope of this nation rising out of the apostacy that has engulfed her. On our borders, illegal immigration has become rampant, and possible terrorists, even such as ISIS and Iranian terrorist,may have infiltrated our country and are planning attacks, all in the name of “Allah”. Many have already taken place, in San Bernardino, Orlando, and even in Oklahoma. More are sure to come...unless? I see the news reports, of attacks that are growing from “migrants” that have come from countries bent on our destruction and this present “idiot in chief who is mentallychallenged” who promotes their repatriation into this country, and a Democrats that would increase that amount 500% . Illegal immigration and the growing terrorist risk that confront our country are number one on the minds of most Americans that truly havetheir head above ground and not stuck in the sand and ignoring what is happening. One candidate wanted to build a wall on our southern border and I said “build that wall”. Rid this country of the scourge that has infiltrated it in the last 10 years andremove the threat to our freedoms and our way of life. He wanted to remove illegal immigrants who have come here illegally and break our laws. We should do as the Netherlands has done and remove all Muslims and tear down all Mosques and ban Sharia law thatis anathema to our Constitution and our way of life, as this is war on our soil and we should own up to it......Further, one nominee wanted to “make America great again” and make her first in dealing with other nations. He says, “Put America first”. I don't want to get political, but America is at a breaking point. Either she will rise out of these ashes with a leader who has his head on straight and sees the danger,or be lulled to sleep by someone who thinks that there are no problems in this country and wants more of the same of the last 8 years of the rule by a Democrat...God forbid!! This coming election in 2024 is pivotal. We will continue to see God Almighty and His plan for the end of man's rule will come to pass, no matter what we wish. THE COMING ANTI-CHRIST IN the past, I have made an hypothesis that the coming Anti-Christ could be Muslim. If he comes from the Middle East, and called the Assyrian, we have a high probabilitythat this man is indeed Muslim. Of course, there are many problems that Israel will face, should this man be of such a religion...but what does the Bible say about this man? “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.” (Daniel8:23) “But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.” (Daniel 11:38) “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also standup against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:25) Whether this man proclaims a false Christianity, or believes and follows the war-like ideology of Islam, the bible says he will magnify his own name above all....He willabandon the God of the Bible, or the false god, Allah for himself. ISLAM, THE TERROR OF THE NATIONS Is the Anti-Christ Islamic? Is the supposed coming of the 12th Imam, the Anti-Christ.? Understand that Satan is a powerful deceiver. He relishes deceiving mankind with parallelfalse religions that mirrors God’s way and His salvation message. Could Islam be that false message, with its false god and its false messiah? Some believe that Islam will be defeated in the battle of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38& 39, but it would do well as awatchful Christian to keep an eye on Islam prior to these battles, as Islam is the antithesis of all that is Holy and ordained by our Almighty God, Jehovah or Yahweh…the great I AM, THAT I AM. Paul spoke of this man called the Anti-Christ and his false religion: “The coming of the lawless one (the Anti-Christ) is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception amongthose who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasurein unrighteousness.” (II Thessalonians 2:9-12.) IRAN IS AGAIN LEADING IN THE NEWS It has been 41 years since Iran stuck their slimy head above the political landscape and has been almost daily the center of Islamic barbarism. From the time of 9/11 andthe World Trade Center, the nation of America has dealt with the ideology of Islam and Iran has become the focal point of all that Islam stands for in their crusade for conquest and world domination. I was horrified to learn that this so called Iran Nuclear Deal, was nothing but a sham by our past POTUS Obummer and gives Iran license to pursue their goal of becominga nuclear power. For the last 30 years, Iran has been secretly planning on conquest and developing a nuclear weapon and that administration gave them the green light, and wrapped the deal in a ribbon with a big red bow. Their not so hidden agenda is to be the hegemony power in the Middle East and plans to destroy Israel is priority #1 on their list. The fulfilling of Ezekiel 38 & 39 areon our doorstep and awaits for its prophetic completion. Those who believe your bible, know that the God of heaven will defend Israel with a vengeance and fury that will be devastating to this coalition led by Iran when they come down to Israel. I believethat Islam will be dealt a major blow when 5/6 of this invading army is defeated by God Himself on the mountains of Israel. But know that Islam will not be totally defeated, in my humble opinion. THE UNVEILING OF THE ANTI-CHRIST I'm a firm believer that what is holding back the total onslaught of Islam and the rise of the Anti-Christ is the U.S.A and her population of Christian believers standingin it's way. That's why this election is so important. Either the unveiling of the Anti-Christ will come shortly in the near future, or be delayed because American becomes stronger by being led by a patriot that loves this country. If Islam is the underlying “religion” of the man of sin, then it is being held in check by One all powerful Force, God's Holy Spirit, which is the essence of His power on earth. If , and I make that with all sincerity, this nation falls into further apostacy and God's judgment falls on this land, then the unveiling of the Anti-Christ, could be comingsooner than later. But this nation with it's large Christian population could suspend judgment on this nation, (although it will come on the whole world) for a season. I am reminded of II Chronicles: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and willforgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:4) God is in control. He sees the end from the beginning. He sees the future of this country and it's rise, or it's fall. He sees the false religion of Islam and will judgeher and her leader harshly with fire and brimstone in their ultimate defeat. He will finally judge the nations, the Anti-Christ and his false prophet in the lake of fire. The only thing that stands firmly in Satan's path to complete destruction of this world,are Christians who pray and hold fast to the teachings of the Bible. If this nation does not turn back to God, then God will bring judgment on this nation, but not before removing all restraint that is holding back that judgment: “6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” (II Thessalonians 2:6-10) It all comes down to God knows the future...we are watching and praying for His will to be done. When God removes the Restrainer (God's Holy Spirit), God will also removeHis people, the Church at that time. It will be sooner, or it will be later. It doesn't bother me who will be elected this time around. I will do my civic duty and vote my conscious, but whoever is elected, it will hasten or slow the removal of God's Churchand the revealing of the Anti-Christ. Whether he be Muslim, false Christianity, or finally an atheist in the end, does not matter to those who are born of the blood and the water of Jesus Christ. The blood from being covered by His atonement death on the cross,and the water from being baptized and embracing that we have died to the former lives we had, and we live anew to God in our bodies...Till He Comes. WHERE TO DO YOU STAND? If you have been following the news and see that the world is even a more dangerous place than you can ever remember, what will you do when all hell breaks loose and theend of this age is upon us...not in your head, but for real!!. Will you wake up one day and find millions gone and haven't a clue to what has happened? I tell you what has happened before it happens for real. God has removed His Church and you are shackledwith the knowledge that the Tribulation will start on Day 1 of God removing His church from this planet. Will you submit to the religion of the Anti-Christ, or Islam, and take whatever that mark is planted on your forehead and in your right hand? What will you do, what willyou think, and where will be your faith be? Will it be in men, or in God? Men will fail you, but God never will. Like I said, this election is a pivot for the near future. We will, as a nation, go down in flames, or rise up for a season until Jesus comes andremoves His Bride from this earth. God knows the future. He is God and He has given us ample warning of the nearness of the hour of the soon coming of His Son, Jesus Christ. It could be this fall...it's could be next year...it could be before I finish thismessage. But make no mistake, God knows when that time is up...we can only see the season. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 what the signs would be. Would you not agree that they are all around us?...the times are shouting at each of us, growing more ferventin their attempt to bring us to repentance and choose His Son while there is still time. “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28) We have been seeing these signs for a number of years, since the creation of Israel as a nation in 1948. That generation will not pass away till all things be fulfilled..Menhave tried to pinpoint the coming of Jesus, but God said that we will know the season, and we will know the length of a generation. It's in your bible...70 years, and 80 by strength.(Psalm 90) We are near the end of that generation. Jesus could come and ifyou're not ready, will catch you by surprise and flat footed. Don't let that happen. Make Jesus your Savior right now.. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:16-19) 8 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
